Section III Forming Alliances III
After the Kaifeng meeting, the Materials Bureau was established, Zhang Lisheng unexpectedly became the first director of the Materials Bureau, this result surprised the Wuhan officialdom, Kong Xiangxi suffered a slap, a Chiang Kai-shek saw through his intentions, specially given a warning, had to stop and wait for the opportunity.
Zhang Lisheng is very well-behaved, soon after taking office, he came to Yucheng to discuss with Chiang Ching-kuo, and finally the two tacitly reached a tacit understanding, Wuhan is in charge of Zhang Lisheng, and Yucheng is in charge of Chiang Ching-kuo, which is actually Chiang Ching-kuo is responsible for the acquisition of materials, Zhang Lisheng is responsible for the distribution of materials, Chiang Ching-kuo is more satisfied with this distribution, for him the distribution of materials is really complicated, and he has no energy to take care of it at all.
After listening to Jiang Jingguo's introduction, he still smiled a little bitterly, this Zhang Lisheng is really not an ordinary cunning, maybe Chen Cheng is supporting him in the back, and the things that offend people let Jiang Jingguo rush to the front, and he will stay for himself.
After Jiang Jingguo finished speaking, he looked at Zhuang Jihua nervously, but he didn't get any response, which made him a little disappointed, he couldn't help but speak again, but was stopped with serious eyes.
Zhuang Jihua was hesitating in his heart, whether to tell him some things he mastered, and after hesitating, he decided to tell the truth.
"Jingguo, have you thought about this problem, why do you want to set up a material bureau?" Zhuang Jihua started with his usual heuristic questioning, which was accustomed to the old people of the development team, but it was the first time for Chiang Ching-kuo, which made him a little fresh and a little confused at the same time.
Jiang Jingguo shook his head: "According to the opinion of the base camp, the purpose of purchasing materials is to prevent the loss of materials, and at the same time, it is also to better distribute materials and achieve maximum efficiency. ”
"This is just a superficial reason, you think about the question, what is China's largest military material supply system? It is the Sichuan Development Company, and almost all of the products of this company are sold to the logistics department of Hong Junqi, how can it be said that the materials are lost? After the establishment of the Materials Bureau, the materials procured were also handed over to the Logistics Department, which is equivalent to adding a layer of management out of thin air, which is not an increase in efficiency but a reduction in efficiency, do you say so? Zhuang Jihua picked up a chopstick and drew two lines on the table, and then added another one in the middle, becoming three lines.
Chiang Ching-kuo was a little strange, if he said that this material bureau was indeed redundant: "Is it that all the materials of the development company are not supplied to the army, or is there some other reason?" ”
"Other reasons," Zhuang Jihua smiled faintly, and the smile was a little cold: "There are other reasons, the products of the Sichuan Development Company are divided into two parts, most of which are sold to Hong Junqi's logistics department, but more than 30% of the materials will be deducted every month and bought by various systems of the Sichuan army to support the supply of the troops out of Sichuan, and this other reason is here." ”
Jiang Jingguo suddenly realized, he immediately understood what the Materials Bureau was going to do, Zhuang Jihua looked at him and asked, "Now do you understand what you are going to do?" ”
Jiang Jingguo nodded with difficulty, and Zhuang Jihua asked again: "Then what are you going to do?" ”
"Naturally, it was done according to the orders of the base camp." Jiang Jingguo said expressionlessly, Zhuang Jihua nodded slightly, and then continued to advance: "Then do you know that it will happen in the future?" ”
Jiang Jingguo was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhuang Jihua in confusion, Zhuang Jihua continued: "General Chen said that there are many factions in our party, so which faction is Zhang Lisheng?" I think it's either Chen Lifu's people or Chen Cheng's people, if it's the latter, then the Sichuan army will be miserable, Chen Cheng has always looked down on the local troops, and the material of the local troops is very tight, Sun Lianzhong once told me that under Chen Cheng, he only got forty percent of the materials at the best time. ”
"This kind of self-favoritism has a great impact on the morale of the army," Zhuang Jihua continued: "The equipment of the Sichuan army out of Sichuan is the best, if his supply is insufficient, it will seriously affect the combat effectiveness, and such a well-organized army will be wasted, which is why I want to save the Sichuan army's reading power logistics system." ”
"As far as I know, the establishment of the Materials Bureau is Kong Xiangxi's proposal, why did Kong Xiangxi make this suggestion? Quite simply, he came to the Sichuan Development Company, and most of the materials produced by the Sichuan Development Company are in demand in the market, and I have repeatedly refused to trade with Seven Star Company and other companies related to Kong Xiangxi, because after they get these materials, they sell them on the black market for huge profits. ”
Jiang Jingguo looked at Zhuang Jihua in surprise, and was a little disbelieving: "Impossible, he is the president of the Executive Yuan, he... Actually disregarding military affairs because of selfish interests? It can't be, it can't be. ”
"These companies are all presided over by his wife behind his back," Zhuang Jihua looked very calm: "My people have investigated, and the reason why they did not expose him is precisely because of this, I categorically refused to do business with him." ”
"Jingguo, the Cultural Revolution is not wrong." Seriously added: "Seven Star Company originally got the agency rights of penicillin in Shanghai from us, but he sold most of the penicillin to Yue himself, we first warned him, he didn't listen, and finally we had to cancel their agency, I am afraid that this is the reason, Kong Xiangxi began to think about the Sichuan Development Company and the Cultural Revolution." ”
Jiang Jingguo smiled bitterly, lowered his head to think about it, and then raised his head and said to Zhuang Jihua: "Don't worry, I won't deal with him." ”
"No, you're welcome, you're not qualified." Zhuang Jihua unceremoniously interrupted his words, and under Jiang Jingguo's surprised gaze, he began to analyze again: "According to the division of labor between you and Zhang Lisheng, you are mainly in charge of material procurement, and he controls the distribution of materials, so you have no say at all in this." ”
Chiang Ching-kuo was a little stupid, he suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, he shouldn't have let go of Wuhan, and now he can't control the situation at all. After the silence meeting, he looked up at Zhuang Jihua and defended: "Zhang Lisheng probably won't." ”
"I don't know, I don't know this person," Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, he is not such a person, but he is just one person, there are too many hands-on links, and there is a section chief below, if there is a problem in one of these links, the front-line soldiers will be unlucky." ”
"Then how do you ensure that the people below are not corrupt and take bribes?" Chiang Ching-kuo asked a tricky question.
"It's very simple, the first thing is to understand their personal conduct, and then to establish a precise monitoring system and strictly enforce it." Zhuang Jihua said.
Jiang Jingguo was a little embarrassed, he entered Yucheng almost alone, although he was optimistic about a few students in the cadre school, but these were still students, and even if he graduated, he could not be promoted to a high position immediately.
It seems that the only way to take the road of establishing a strict supervision system immediately flashed in Jiang Jingguo's mind, why not transplant the logistics supervision system of the Southwest Development Team, without waiting for him to think about it, Zhuang Jihua seemed to see through his thoughts.
"Any system is implemented by people, so talent is the most important."
Jiang Jingguo said in his heart that I was just short of people, and then Deng Yanda spoke: "Cultural Revolution, can't you help him find some people?" ”
Zhuang Jihua shrugged his shoulders slightly, looked at Jiang Jingguo with a smile, Jiang Jingguo was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but said calmly: "In this way, I will ask Brother Wenge to help." ”
"Alas," Zhuang Jihua shook his head: "There are many people in the Southwest Development Team, and you can completely transfer them from the Three Youth League, trade unions, party departments, and cadre schools to set up an inspection room, or a statistics room, to specifically supervise the distribution of materials." Don't always think about who is your own person and who is someone else's, don't be afraid if there is a problem, and resolutely investigate and deal with it, so that the atmosphere will improve, and corruption will naturally become less and less. Zaitian knows how many people we have investigated and dealt with since the establishment of the Southwest Development Team. ”
At first, Jiang Jingguo's face turned red, he knew that Zhuang Jihua saw through the reason for his hesitation, but when he heard the back, he became happy, and arched his hand at Zhuang Jihua: "Teachable, teachable." ”
"Okay, Jingguo, forget about this set of false gifts," Chen Mingshu stood up with a smile: "Have you finished eating, after eating, let's take these things." ”
Everyone stood up one after another, called the guards seriously, put away the round table and chopsticks and sent them to the cafeteria, and then everyone put the things in the room in place. Deng Yanda's guards made tea for everyone, and then gently closed the door and retreated outside.
"Jingguo," Zhuang Jihua sat on the sofa and said very casually, "I also want to ask you for a favor." ”
"Oh, Brother Cultural Revolution, what do you want me to do?" Chiang Ching-kuo asked.
"Be merciful," Zhuang Jihua looked at him calmly: "In other words, the logistics of the Sichuan army system will not be too ugly." When purchasing, be merciful and don't sweep things away. ”
Zhuang Jihua is giving Jiang Jingguo face, he doesn't want to have a stalemate with Jiang Jingguo, as soon as the Material Bureau is established, he will think of a plan to deal with it. His plan was simple, that is, to let the factories underreport their output, and the vacated part would be handed over to the Sichuan army. But the flaw of this plan is that the quantity is certainly insufficient, and if it can be supplemented by Chiang Ching-kuo's men, the situation will certainly be greatly improved.
Jiang Jingguo was a little hesitant, he understood that Zhuang Jihua spent so much energy today, I am afraid that in the end, it was for this, if he refused, Zhuang Jihua would definitely have the following, and it would be difficult for him to deal with it at that time.
"How much do you want me to keep?" Jiang Jingguo frowned and asked.
"10%, how?"
After Jiang Jingguo thought about it, he felt a little too much, he was about to bargain, but Zhuang Jihua said: "Jingguo, since you arrived in Yucheng, the generals of the Sichuan army have found you a lot of trouble, and you have also found a lot of trouble for them, now is an opportunity to ease relations and win their support for your social reform plan." ”
Jiang Jingguo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately understood that Zhuang Jihua was instructing him, in exchange for this in exchange for the Sichuan army generals agreeing to ban drugs, gambling and prostitution, and these three were his real achievements after entering Yucheng, he immediately nodded: "Okay, I will go to Chengdu in a few days and discuss with Tian Songyao and Zhang Sike." ”
Zhuang Jihua praised in his heart, he knew that Jiang Jingguo was expressing his agreement to join forces with him in military supplies.
